U.S. Troops Find Missiles Near Saddam's Hometown
1 hour, 28 minutes ago

TIKRIT, Iraq (Reuters) - U.S. troops said they had found surface-to-air
missiles and hundreds of other weapons including plastic explosives buried
in an orchard near Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s hometown on Saturday.

A U.S. military spokesman described the haul as one of the most significant
weapons seizures of recent weeks and a sign of how Saddam loyalists were
still equipped to pose a threat to U.S. forces.

He said 23 SA-7 surface-to-air missiles were found as well as 1,000 pounds
of plastic explosives, 500 hand grenades, dozens of mortar bombs and
hundreds of detonators which could be used to set off car bombs or other
explosions.

Also discovered were rocket-propelled grenades similar to those used on
Saturday in an attack on a Baghdad hotel housing officials of Iraq (news -
web sites)'s U.S.-led administration.

"This was a significant find but is just one of the numerous weapons caches
we know exist around the country," the spokesman told reporters.

He said the owner of the orchard, about 10 miles outside Tikrit, was closely
linked to Saddam's ousted regime.

Troops were led to the cache by an informant. They had raided the orchard
three days before but found only one weapon on that occasion, the spokesman
said.

YouŽll find many many more Weapon Caches I suspect.
AFAIK there were enough conventional Weapons which disappeared during the Conquest of Iraq to equip several Divisions with them.

SAMs and ballastic missiles are not WoMD. BM's with nukes, chemical or bio warheads are. Dirty bombs, perhaps.

This is great news for our troops because finding the weapon cache means those weapons will never be used against our soldiers. Hopefully, we will find more such weapon caches.

What was the range on those missiles. If they were over a certain amount then they were banned weapons which Iraq was supposed to destroy. If they didn't destroy the missiles and instead buried them it makes you wonder what other banned weapons they have buried.

These Missiles found are Surface - Air - Missiles.
DidnŽt the Range-Issue only apply to Surface - Ground - Missiles?

Just checked it.
the SA-7 seems to have only a Range of 4.2 km,
so even if the Range-Limitation also applies to SAMs
I doubt it wouldŽve been forbidden.

They're ****ing Strelkas, SA-7's. Grails.

Commie version of the FIM-43a Redeye. And just as tits-on-a-bull useful.

Man-portable, 1st generation passive IR tail-chase aspect SAMs.

In other words, about as far from a "prohibited weapon" under the UNSCRs as the AK-47, but prohibited, for obvious reasons, by occupation authorities, which only allow Iraqis to posess what are designated as acceptable personal defense weapons.
